Now a case has come to "The Ice Man" that could help cleanse Nash of the guilt and doubts that torment him: that rarest of all defendants, an innocent man. A fellow lawyer has been accused of a heinous crime -- the brutal murder of an undercover vice cop. But the case that is supposed to be Nash's redemption could prove to be his downfall, dragging him into a dark and sinister world where lies and the truth are interchangeable; where the manipulator becomes the manipulated; and where every answer spawns more complex and terrifying questions. And as the shadows close in around him, the final question that remains for David Nash concerns his own fate: life ... or death? Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Phillip MargolinIf you have never read Phillip Margolin, you are really missing good reads. ALL of his books are so interesting you just can't put them down. The best part is that they never end the way you think they will and it's usually an Alfred Hitchcock ending. If you start to read one for the first time, start with his first book, not only because you won't be able to wait to start the second, but some of his books follow each other. Believe me, you will want to read every book he has ever written. They ... Read More Rating: - Brialliant Plot Strategist"The Last Innocent Man", by Phillip Margolin, is a masterpiece of literary genius in plotting. Upon reading the first few chapters that told isolated stories about individual characters, I was beginning to wonder when the plot would kick in and the story would come together. Once it all merged into a courtroom drama,for me, there was no putting the book down until I finished reading it. I have enjoyed reading some wonderful writers over the years, but Margolin is one of the best I've read ...

Phillip Margolin tackles this and more in the very readable legal thriller The Last Innocent Man.

Read More Rating: - Good thriller set against a series of coincidencesMargolin comes through with a book that keeps the pages turning but at times I wondered about the series of incredible coincidences that linked all of the characters together (I won't go into them here, for fear of revealing too much of the plot for those who have not yet read the book). ARe you looking for a book that leads the protaganist through a series of difficult choices until finally everything is forced to come to a head? Than this is your book. However, be aware that you'll be forced ... Read More Rating: - Is there such a thing as an Inocent Man?Another great book by Philip Margolin. This book is about a lawyer who is asked to defend a man who is accused of killing a prostitute. This book is a mystery but it also deals with a lawyer who is questioning the reasons of why he is a lawyer. I think at some point, any criminal lawyer with integrity starts questioning the reasons why they are defending criminals. The thing that makes this book so remarkable is that it really opened my eyes about the legal system. Sometimes you wonder how lawyers can ... Read More
